Everybody has the "right not to use a software". But when he wants to
use it, then he has to obey the license agreement.
Nowhere in the lgpl does it state that the user is required to inform the
developer of any and all uses of said software.
Very true, but I think that Antônio was thinking of the general case
where the owner of a software project has the undisputed right to
specify what sort of license(s) he is going to release it under. In some
cases he says that he wants a picture postcard from each user, and if
that's what he says then it's /not/ negotiable.
Anyway, I was responsible for starting this thread and I'd suggest that
any further general discussion of owners rights and various licensing
conditions would be much better off in e.g. the lazarus-other list. For
